Redsandalwood Malas Sandalwood Buddhist Prayer Beads

Sandalwood is the name of different fragrant woods. Usually, our sandalwood malas are handmade from redsandalwood, rosesandalwood, Scentedrosewood, and Santalum album. These woods are yielded by trees in the genus Santalum, which are often used for the essential oil it contains. The wood is heavy and yellow in color as well as fine-grained, and unlike many other aromatic woods it retains its fragrance for decades. The sandalwood fragrance is very distinctive and is used in countless applications. Sandalwood has been valued and treasured for many years for its fragrance, carving, medical and religious qualities.
